Nuclear Pasta ? C.O.Dorso (UBA, Universidad de Buenos Aires) in collaboration with P. Gimenez Molinelli (UBA) P.Alcain (UBA) J. Nichols (UBA) & J. Lopez(UTEP) IWNDT 2013 In Honor of Prof. J. Natowitz
Are all pasta ? Are both pasta?
What is nuclear Pasta? What is the effect of periodic boundary conditions on the morphology of the system? What is the role of Coulomb? What is the role of the Debye screening length on the scale of heterogeneities?

Fragment Size Distriubution X=0.3 =0.10
The role of coulomb We analyze the behavior of a system driven by: with 0 α 1
=1 (circles) The role of coulomb =0 (squares) This suggests that there is pasta even without Coulomb!
Intermezzo : what is the role of Coulomb? Lennard Jones + Coulomb Illinois potential is rather complicated because :
Lennard Jones +coulomb as increases no bump!
The role of coulomb N=800
Cluster recognition in this case: MST with LRPBC Single cell analysis “Clusters” In the cell (finite) 10 objects
Infinite Cluster Detected If T>0 apply MSTE to MST Clusters
Trivial infinite cluster 2 dimensions “no coulomb” no bump, still get ‘pasta’
In 3 dimensions, no coulomb 1 structure per cell
In the absence of coulomb we still get “Pasta” but just one structure per cell The scale is fixed by the cell When coulomb is switched on and is above the “critical value” we get “True Pasta”, multiple structures per cell The scale is fixed by the potential
Finite size, periodic boundary conditions and the appearance of “Pasta” without Coulomb The system is finite but not too small, particles interact by a short range potential Given a configuration we can write Surfaces
